How can I tell if I was in Training Mode when I sold a license?

The training mode has a different background color than production sales. Also, there is a red banner across the top that reflects "Training Mode - TPWD Sales Application". The printed license document reflects "training" for the Customer Number, Document Number and also has "training mode" printed on each invalid tag. The agent receipt will have "Training Mode" across the top and the Transaction ID, Customer Number and Document Number will also have "training".

What happens when I replace a license?
As soon as you complete a replacement on a document, the original
is canceled.

What happens after three reprints?
If the license printer is misprinting documents, please be sure to answer "no"
to the question asked if the license printed correctly. Once you answer no
for the third time, a dealer receipt will print out showing the voided sale.
Please be sure to mail in all voided licenses to TPWD within 45 days to avoid
being charged.

Should I mail in my dealer receipt with the voided license?
No. The dealer receipt is for your records.

Can I see what documents need to be mailed to TPWD to avoid
getting charged?
Yes. The Outstanding Documents report shows what documents need to be mailed
to TPWD within 45 days of the void date. To access this report, click on "Reports"
from the main menu, click on "Outstanding Documents" from the reports
menu (system will default to current date). If you have any questions about this report, please

Can I go back and see a prior day daily sales report or account
notice?
Yes. You can reprint these at any time. From the main menu, click on "Reports" and select either your Daily Sales Report or Past Account Notice and enter the date.
